I only smoke when I go out... It's doable! Just grow a pair...
Remove the temptations during the week and substitute with deep breathing or get a decent vaporizer (but don't use it daily! or you'll have a new addiction). I also like to do some heavy cardio after a weekend of smoking... To fill my lungs with clean air, don't think it helps physically but it helps mentally for me.
It's all in your mind...
But yeah, cigarettes are great to get in contact with people...
Some people can do this, some cannot. It's not particularly helpful to challenge guys' manhood over it. For people who are addicted, it is not possible for them to cut down their usage effectively. Putting the message out there that anyone can do it just perpetuates their hamstering. Not everyone is like you.
Also, it's not possible to tell ahead of time if you're genetically predisposed to nicotine addiction. That's why starting smoking is one of the worst decisions you can make. It looks like the genes are pretty common, especially in black people:

"This new finding widens the scope of how genetic factors are known to influence nicotine dependence," Dana Hancock, Ph.D., genetic epidemiologist at RTI and co-author of the study. "The variant that we identified is common, occurring in 44 percent of Europeans or European Americans and 77 percent of African Americans, and it exerts important effects on gene regulation in human brain, specifically in the cerebellum, which has long been overlooked in the study of addiction."
